Jack, it's good you have an idea of what's bothering you and where to go for help. Have you seen this therapist before?

Vibes the therapist is able to get rid of the pain.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes mentioned mothers and vaping, and now it is time for you to post until the vaping cows come home.

You saw COWS vaping??

Here is a photo I created from a picture of my mom taken in 1956, and then another picture taken in 2004 when we went back to visit the house we had lived in years before....the little girl is not my mom.....it is part of the background I used.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers......



Nicely done, Jack.

Had a good work session creating at least the idea of some dance music for a Welcome to My World number.  Sami's been working hard with a seventy-year-old tap teacher who, according to her, has danced with Gene Kelly.  I saw the video of her rehearsing - the steps are very cute, but I'm bringing in my pal Cheryl Baxter-Ratliff to help make it an actual theatrical number.  Cheryl is one of the go-to 42nd Street people to recreate Gower's choreography and she's a great tapper.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Mom & me, taken almost 9 years ago at my mother-in-law's 90th birthday party:

Nice photo, Ginny. It's nice that it's just the two of you.

Oxford commas? I always use them. I spent many years doing technical writing, where clarity was my highest priority, and writing is much clearer with that extra comma.

A seventy-year-old tap teacher? My, my. He/she must be in great shape. And SLENDER!

Re the Janis story, I believe Janis is leaving for Europe either today or tomorrow. I didn't mention it before, but Janis is legally blind. She has some vision and, aside from not being able to drive, seems to do quite well on her own. I think a couple people will be accompanying her on this trip.

I hope she's able to help you. I've had my vacation time interrupted by health issues myself. Most frustrating!

I am slowly getting the hang of my new computer.  I really haven't had much time to do it.  This morning I baked brownies and organized stuff, found more things for goodwill, and did 3 loads of wash.  Just as we were about to leave for the dump & goodwill, Craig called.  Just as we were about to leave again, Bryan called ;D

I am doing another load of laundry.  I have cookies I should bake.  I might wait until morning.  I need to leave early and take all the food possible to a friend's house.  What she won't use she will take to the food store for the needy.  It is going to her first as she will take my open, but perfectly good, containers.

Some of the brownies are for my friend and her husband.  These are the leaders of our hiking group.  He usually drives so I occasionally take them cookies.  Wednesday he said he will miss my cookies :)

Time to see if I can fit everything I have out to pack into one large suitcase.  If not, something will have to be left behind.

...and I'm back from a 2-hour nap here in my recliner.

Thank you to DRs Jeanne and Jane fir the comments about my photo.  The more I think about it, the surer I am it was taken by my mother-in-law herself.

I am eating instead of packing.  Keith has put what is ready to go into the car into it, and there doesn't seem to be any room for my suitcase.
